The night is getting heavier, the clouds are dense tonight, the starlight is sparse, and even the moonlight seems to be dimmed.

The struggle on the field intensified, and the atmosphere among the werewolves present was equally anxious.

"Why does Lord Crofts look like he's going to lose? Impossible..."

"The candidate for the next patriarch has almost been decided..."

"All equally young, but Edgar is noticeably more stable..."

......

The werewolves were talking.

The black cat recognized that his position was in the middle of the Wiggins family, not far from the Presbyterian Church. The old werewolf elder who had asked him to choose a piece of paper was also among them, staring at the center of the field very calmly, as did the other elders.

They are all waiting for the result.

The black cat is still thinking about the current situation.

Why did the duel suddenly turn into a dead one, and since Edgar and Crofts are related by blood, then they would really kill their brother directly in this scene?

The surrounding area is heavily guarded, especially the pack of wolves guarding the bottom of the duel arena. With the ability of a black cat, even if it wants to rush up to block it, it will be stopped if it can't run to the center of the arena. There are also people watching the black cat silently. Sneaking doesn't work, but it doesn't work by teleporting the cat directly to the center. So Lin Ling said, "Do you have any ideas, what should I do now?"

The black cat's eyes narrowed, and for a moment, he looked like a wolf next to him, and gave an order to his partner, "Lin Ling, you help me put all the data on agility."

"All? Defense and HP bonuses are not left?" Lin Ling confirmed again.

"Ok."

There is an upper limit to the sum of the values ​​a cat can have. The data changed for the black cat before has reached the cat's limit. Lin Ling's subordinates kept operating and reminded: "If the defense is gone, you may fall twice and lose blood. , the HP is not high after the bonus, you have to be careful not to be caught twice by any wolf, or you will die."

He hit the last confirmation button, "Good luck to you."

In the blink of an eye, all the values ​​were on agility.

The black cat, which had gained agility enhancement, stomped on the ground, ready to go, and recited the simplest wind spell in his heart——

The next second, it jumped out.

Suddenly, the atmosphere seemed to become serious. In reality, Lin Ling from the supervisor's perspective couldn't help holding his breath, sweating for the next development. Then he saw...

The black cat's paw stepped on the head of the previous werewolf, and then stepped on the next one.

Lin Ling, the technician who fantasized about the black cat's dashing attitude: "???" It seems strange.

The little black cats were indeed as light as swallows, stepping over each and every one of their heads.

...is that the posture is a bit like a frog jumping over a lotus leaf across a river.

As a result, all the werewolves in this piece witnessed the same amazing scene, the attention originally focused on the duel was distracted, and the discussions were mixed with some subconscious swear words.

"Who stepped on my head!"

"Look, what happened to the holy beast!"

"What the **** is stepping on... I rely on it, how is it Lord Holy Beast, you can step on it!"

"Why is it a holy beast? Didn't you say you were sick and didn't wake up?"

"It seems to be going under the dueling arena..."

......

There was also a commotion in the Presbyterian Church, and a row of elder werewolves with long beards looked at them in unison, and their movements were very uniform.

"Why was the holy beast disturbed?"

"It's like... running down there?"

"What are you doing, let someone stop me!"

......

The black cat has earned enough attention this time.

The agility is at the highest level, and every step is like flying, not to mention the blessing of wind magic. Whenever a werewolf tried to catch it, it would be avoided by the agile black cat, leaving only the back of a handsome black dumpling, unable to catch even the cat's hair.

So, while running, it accidentally heard the werewolf's new talk.

"Looking at the short legs and a little fat, why are you so agile?"

"Is the holy beast called Yuanyuan? It's the first time that it looks so close to it..."

"It's so small and round, it's like touching the round head of a holy beast."

"It's too small, I feel like I can squeeze five with one paw..."

......

Black Cat: "..."

The holy beast was angry.

How can one or two be so disrespectful!

However, now he can't care about these with the werewolf, the black cat locked his eyes on the target in the middle of the duel arena, and once again avoided the werewolf who tried to stop it a few times.

As if a single stone stirred up a thousand waves, the commotion in this corner gradually spread to other parts of the venue. The black cat was never caught, and even saw it getting closer and closer to the bottom of the field.

The Council of Elders looked anxious. The holy beast's intention was to stop the duel, and more importantly, the holy beast had to be stopped and could not be harmed, so he quickly ordered the guards on duty to return to wolf shape, and more Useful for catching holy beasts.

The behavior of stepping on the head is no longer feasible, and it is easy to fall. The black cat will change to walk through the wolf group, and take advantage of its small body to shuttle under their feet without being noticed. The only problem is that the wolf smell is a bit heavy.

...I can bear it.

For a while, the werewolf couldn't find this little black group running around, and once anyone found the holy beast nearby, they quickly shouted here, but the black cat quickly got away and couldn't catch it at all, and the werewolf didn't even have a tail. Can't touch the tip.

——This is a big victory for the little black cat.

"Okay!" Lin Ling couldn't help clapping and applauding, feeling that he had watched an action movie with a cat as the protagonist, and even had the idea of ​​making a cat assassin game at a certain moment, "Going to the second-floor viewing platform, I'm far away. It's very close below! It's still too late!"

There was still time before one wolf killed another.

But at this moment, the black cat's next planned path was suddenly blocked by a shadow. Appearing in its field of vision not far away was a group of gray wolves with uniform movements. A team of the guards who have transformed back into wolf form has blocked the way and will soon find it.

Here is a dead end.

Seeing this scene, the black cat had an idea in an instant, and kept walking on his feet. While rubbing against the edge of the steps to hide his figure in the shadows, he asked, "Lin Ling, can you make a wolf howl?"

"No problem." Knowing what the black cat's plan was, Lin Ling quickly began to operate. Now the environment is chaotic enough, a wolf howl in troubled waters will soon be responded to, and the source will not be found at all, "Okay, you call it. , now the next cry you make is a wolf howl."

Black cat: "???" I want you to find a way to make other wolves bark, where did I bark.

Even though I thought so in my heart, the black cat raised its head and screamed in the next second.

Just like a real wolf howling under the moon, this little black cat raised its head high, but it made a howl that did not match its body shape and resounded through the sky. It can also be as powerful as a wolf.

Just as it had planned, the wolf in the field heard the call and couldn't judge the source at all, and responded subconsciously. One after another, the gray wolves raised their heads and kept calling, realizing the true "ghost crying and wolf howling", and there was no end to the response.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the culprit, the little black cat, quickly got under the copper wall of a row of gray wolves, and the wolf who raised his head and howled didn't even see the black mass rushing past under his feet.

The wolf howls in the field also alarmed the two wolves in the duel.

They don't know what happened before, and they don't know the commotion caused by the black cat. They just think which wolf barked accidentally, and the others followed. After all, this kind of situation is very common among wolves. The worse it gets, the more it will keep responding.

And the two of them are probably very good in this regard, and they didn't cry again, but the duel war did stop for a moment.

The white wolf's fur that was as white as snow was also stained with bright red blood at this time. I don't know if it was his own or from the black wolf in front of him, but his breath was steady, and his eyes were equally calm and powerful. In contrast, the black wolf is a little more embarrassed, his eyes are fierce, but his hind legs can be seen injured at a glance.

The red stripes on the black wolf's forehead faintly radiated light, and the white wolf also had one on the forehead, but it was light golden. Against the background of the fur color, it was not as conspicuous as the black wolf, and it was not offensive to look at.

The two sides seemed to be stuck in a stalemate, wandering around each other, but neither of them launched the next attack first, as if they were waiting for a better opportunity for the other party to reveal their flaws first.

Although the black wolf was injured not long ago, it is completely healed now, and the duel was decided tonight with its consent. The black wolf has always been belligerent, and even a bit brutal when it sees blood on its prey, in this respect it is within the clan. It is famous, so there are more werewolves who think it will win. In contrast, White Wolf has always been unremarkable in this regard.

But the situation has taken a turn for the worse.

"Isn't it very hard to hide for so long?" The black wolf stared at the other party, as if he couldn't kill it with such fierce eyes, and the spit was bloody, "When did you start planning? Earlier , or... from it?"

Bai Lang's expression was calm, not irritated by the other party's questioning, "Let's see what you think."

"That's from earlier." The black wolf showed a slightly vicious smile, "Holy beast, where is it just a holy beast... It's obviously a kitten."

Although there seems to be a slight difference in appearance, the familiar feeling that goes with you...

"The first time you saw it, you felt a lot like it, so you wanted to bring it back yourself."

"It's boring to talk about it, Crofts." White Wolf said, "It doesn't matter if it's the same black cat or not, it's not that important to me."

"But it's really 'it'. You can't justify it, you've been secretly preparing for so long." The black wolf stepped forward, "But now it has a problem again, Edgar, even if you live to the end, you will only be able to You'll get the same results as you did back then..."

All that awaits is the result of its disappearance.

Hearing this, White Wolf's eyes flashed fiercely, and he interrupted with a loud voice: "Then come directly and see who of us can survive!"

For werewolves, even if they have a human-like appearance, what they can never get rid of is the innate animal nature. For two wolves, they can be close brothers, they can temporarily sleep in a room with a cat between them, and they can go on a crusade against the blood clan together. But the teachings they received from the elders in the clan also made them not hesitate at the most critical moment.

No matter what goal or selfish desire it is for, the title of patriarch and the honor of the wolf king can only be enjoyed by one person, and the same is true for some things...

--It's now.

The black wolf took the lead in launching the attack, showing its claws and fangs, and pounced on it, aiming directly at the eyes of the white wolf, but was avoided by the white wolf, causing only a bloodstain. The golden pattern on the white wolf's forehead was hot, and he was about to hit him hard in an instant.

But at this moment, they vaguely heard a few cat meows at the same time.

very close.

They all turned their heads subconsciously.

Not far away, a small black cat was running towards them quickly, meowing as it ran.

"Meow meow."

Wait for me, don't die, don't die!

There are also those gray wolves who have reacted to catch up behind it, and the rest are still howling in place, adding ready-made background music to the scene.

"Hurry up!" Lin Ling urged in his mind, clapping the table nervously whenever he saw the black cat being caught by the wolf's claws, "I'll meet you soon, hurry up!"

After the data was adjusted, the blood bar of the black cat was already very thin, and it was hooked two or three times just now.

Mao Mao ran very fast, and every step he took was a complete distance of ten. He could almost win the running champion among cats, and his eyes almost burst into tears when he was fascinated by the wind and sand. But there is a gap between different animal races, and it is about to be caught up by the gray wolf.

Seeing this scene, the two wolves breathed for a while. Without any hesitation, it was completely out of subconsciousness, and he came forward to protect the black cat.

——At this moment, maybe it will be held down by the gray wolf in just one second.

The black cat bumped into the arms of the black wolf.

Heilang frowned when he was hit and injured, but he still asked anxiously, "How did you make yourself like this?"

When it sees a black cat, it actually has more questions to ask. For example, why are you scared when you see me in the past two days? .. It was even a bit of a surprise, the black cat that was back to normal again appeared in front of its eyes again.

But the first question I asked was about how it got like this.

He ran very embarrassedly all the way, digging around under the feet of a group of werewolves and in the corners of walls, etc. The black cat rubbed the soil all over his body, his hair was messy, and there were two or three faint bloodstains on his body.

The gray wolf team that followed immediately stopped, and the white wolf looked at the leading gray wolf, "What's going on?"

The leading gray wolf explained: "The holy beast suddenly rushed down from the platform and ran all the way here, and the elders ordered to stop it."

"It still has wounds on its body, why, are you going to kill it?" The black wolf was very angry when he smelled the blood on the cat, as if he didn't notice that there was blood on his body.

"No, it was an accident, the holy beast... The speed is too fast, and we were not careful." Gray Wolf quickly explained.

They are really wronged for this. After all, they are chasing them in wolf form. When they stretch out their claws and want to keep the holy beast, they will cause small wounds if they are not careful. Special order.

The black cat managed to stick its head out from the black wolf's hair pile, and almost didn't suffocate to death, and immediately howled vigorously to prove that it was all right.

"Meow meow meow."

Another gray wolf stepped forward, "Lord Edgar, Lord Crofts, why don't you just hand over the holy beast to us now, and we will take the holy beast up."

Hearing this, the black cat immediately grabbed the black wolf and did not let go, as if he would never leave. Just kidding, if it is taken away, someone will surely die next, and it must stay.

The white wolf and the black wolf looked at each other and refused decisively. The lead gray wolf said, "But now this scene..."

It was embarrassed to say it directly, and it was just before the duel was over, and the sudden appearance of the holy beast had obviously disrupted some things.

All eyes in the arena are now focused here, and everyone can see that the original fierce duel scene has stopped, and it is the holy beast that suddenly appears here. In the direction of the Presbyterian Council, several elder elders all looked bad. On the one hand, they did not understand the behavior of the holy beast. On the other hand, the selection of the patriarch was so sacred and important, such an accident should not happen.

The gray wolves gathered here are very embarrassed, but they still waited for the instructions of the white wolf and the black wolf, and did not take any actions without authorization.

For a while, the venue was silent, and the scene froze.

The black cat asked Lin Ling, "What should I do now? If one of the two of them takes me away, they will continue their duel."

The cat was unable to speak, and the white wolf couldn't read the black cat's eyes any more, so Lin Ling immediately came up with an idea, "How about you become a human once? When the holy beast appears, you can directly Tell them that neither of the two wolves can die."

"Fuck, this is too embarrassing, and who knows if this will reveal that I am not a holy beast at all." The black cat shook his head and refused.

"That can't be helped, otherwise you will cling to one, and you can't kill you all together." Lin Ling said, "Looking at your expressiveness, whoever knows your performance will understand what you mean. "

Either change into a human, or beg for a dead man and stop the wolf.

The black cat immediately made a choice, grabbing the black wolf and not letting go at all, and looked at the black wolf and the white wolf with tears in his eyes.

Okay, don't kill.

The scene was quieter.

The black wolf was still a little surprised that the cat took the initiative to stick him so close, while the white wolf was often the one who understood the fastest, thinking of the strange behavior of the black cat in the past two days, and how it rushed down from the stage and broke through the block to appear in the The timing here is immediately guessed.

It hesitated and asked the black cat: "Do you want to let anyone die?"

The meaning of this sentence is very subtle. On the one hand, the current situation is that the black wolf is almost certain to lose. The appearance of the black cat seems to prevent the death of the black wolf. On the other hand, it seems to be understood that it does not want either party to die.

The black cat nodded vigorously.

This is the decision of the holy beast.

The leading gray wolf looked at the white wolf, "Then what do you think of this..."

Before the white wolf could speak, the black wolf said first, "I admit defeat."

"Go talk to the elders, I'll accept the solution." It also looked at the white wolf, and drew the black cat closer to him, "Now I'm going to take it down first."

It is because of its own strength that it loses and makes mistakes one after another, and losing is also an inevitable outcome.

In a duel, there is always one side who has to bear the identity of the loser.

The black wolf picked up the black cat and threw it on his back, turned and left, leaving only a back. Under the moonlight, there is a handsome back with a black dumpling.

In the passage, the black cat leaned down and licked the blood that came out of the wound on the black wolf's body. It is still carrying a [Vampire Cat] setting on its body. The taste of blood is sweet, and licking should also be like a normal vampire. Just as effective.

"Why are you so close to me all of a sudden?" The black wolf seemed to instantly forget everything that happened on the duel arena, and said, "I have a gift for you, and I'll take you to see it later."

The little black cat had been wrong for two days, and didn't even have time to communicate. He fainted inexplicably when he touched it, and was placed in his own position until the duel started.

Fortunately, there is still a chance, it is not too late.

"Meow."

go.

——

After deliberation, the Council of Elders considered that the holy beast suddenly attacked and blocked the duel, meaning that it did not want the duel to develop into a desperate struggle, and the final suggestion given by the upcoming new wolf king Edgar Wiggins, and Crofts. Wiggins was also determined to admit defeat, so the Council of Elders finally decided not to force the duel to end until one party died.

In the past, the competition often ended with the death of one party. In fact, this is not necessarily the case. It is just because the werewolf is warlike and bloodthirsty. In the past, there were losers who survived, but most of them were left disabled, and most of them died soon after being exiled.

The fact that the always belligerent Crofts was crushed by Edgar in a duel was beyond the expectations of many werewolves, but at the same time, he was finally willing to admit defeat and withdraw, which was even more unexpected.

There was a lot of discussion about his final decision within the clan, and many werewolves held the same view, believing that Crofts might find new opportunities in the future, and he might even come back.

But there is no such precedent before, and everything is just speculation.

The decision to exile was made that night, and before dawn the next day, Crofts would leave alone and go to the deepest part of the Red Moon Forest, a more primitive place. The rest of the werewolves could not come to see him off. This was a customary rule. Even if he had the intention, he could only light a candle in his own home, which meant praying and wishing good luck.

The sky will be bright.

The exhausted black cat had already slept in the room. Before leaving, Crofts did not choose to disturb it, but only hung something around its neck.

A small black woven wolf.

Edgar saw that the black cat liked cloth mice, and asked a maid who was good at sewing and making small things to make a large white wolf doll for him to play with. Crofts later found the maid and asked for a similar size. The black wolf doll was stuffed to the black cat, and the black cat grabbed the two things out of the thread.

But Crofts had a whim at the time, thinking that the black cat was so small, it would be better to ask for a smaller one for it.

So there is this.

He closed the door softly and went downstairs, where Edgar was standing at the gate. There was nothing more to say between the two, and Crofts turned back to the black wolf and turned to leave.

"It won't go away this time." Edgar still stood there. "Like last time, like the one farther away, I won't let it go away again."

The black wolf kept walking towards the distance, and did not look back, leaving only a sentence, "Then wish you well."

The black wolf left.

Sunlight poured down through the clouds, illuminating the path in the forest.

The sleeping black cat in the room didn't change, and was still asleep, but the thing hanging around his neck was gone.

It is a little black cat that someone helps to hang up.

the other side.

When the black wolf ran to the edge of the forest, it saw something unbelievable. It immediately stopped running and walked forward slowly. Every step is very slow, as if something will be alarmed if you don't settle down, and the scene in front of you will be an illusory bubble that disappears.

"How do you..."

The black dumpling standing on the rock, wagging its tail, is a little black cat. The cloth black wolf that was hung up not long ago was still hanging around his neck. They were all black and seemed to be mixed up.

This time, the black cat didn't use it to hold it, and took the initiative to jump out and stomped on the opponent's back.

"Meow meow meow."

What are you waiting for, hit the road.

On the road leading to the depths of the forest, only two black figures were left.
